The problem was:
On Digital AlphaServer 400 running under Digital Unix V4.0C system
lost information about protocols and services.
It was caused probably by manipulating in BIND configuration.
The problem was solved thanks to Spider Boardman

He wrote:
"If you're sure that your /etc/protocols file is OK (and that both it
and /etc/services are world-readable), then the next thing to check is
your /etc/svc.conf file. If its entries for `services' and
`protocols' don't include `local', or if that file is not
world-readable, you will get the obscure errors of which you posted."
Following this thread I have found /etc/svc.conf file corrupted.

"/etc/svc.conf should have lines similar to the following, between
the `begin' and `end' lines:
=== begin ===
aliases=local,yp
auth=local,yp
group=local
hosts=local,bind,yp
netgroup=local,yp
networks=local,yp
passwd=local
protocols=local,yp
rpc=local,yp
services=local,yp
=== end ==="
After saving this changed file and making it world-readable all
services start to work correctly.
